your feeder club arrangement for 2005

[mightybears]

how long are the devils signed up for?,
is it a year by year thing or longer?

Melbourne Storm owns the Norths Devils (bought it out of potential bankruptcy and demise), pays its staff and players. So it's not exactly an arangement.

T.S. is right in one aspect, Ribot owns the Norths Leagues Club and there is an agreement in place with News Ltd that football club is owned by Storm.

Agreement? i remember reading that Norths was on the brink of bankruptcy when Storm took over Norths' management

 

[freeridermx]

i dont know my self but most qld people say they will die if the storm pull out which would be sad as they are strong in all grades.

Which is what I'm talking about. Melbourne Storm owns and runs the club.

The Football club, not the Leagues Club

isn't ribot working with the qld lions soccer club?

Ribot owns a number of Leagues Club has part of his business interests.

Brisbane Norths, Wagga and there was a report he was part (about 20%) owner of Newtowns as well. Although I have never been able to confirm that.

He is also hired as a consulatant for a Brissy Soccer club bidding for the new Premier League Licence.
